KAMLOOPS SYMPHONY 2023/24 SEASON

Welcome to our 2023–2024 season!

With great pleasure, I invite you to discover our 2023/24 Season, one that features local and international artists and celebrates tradition—and innovation— in symphonic music. Rich and diverse, our programming this season highlights beloved works by Mahler, Mozart, and Ravel, and gives you the opportunity to hear many exciting pieces for the first time in Kamloops. You’ll be at the edge of your seat with some of the most riveting American music, such as Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue, and immersed in the tragic love story of Prokofiev’s Romeo & Juliet. Your young ones will even have a chance to discover the KSO with a special Family Concert, the Canadian premiere of author Dan Brown’s Wild Symphony.

Celebrate the festive season with Christmas with the KSO, then come on a Hypnotic Journey with a multisensory experience featuring the music of Julie Thériault. We will then bewitch you with music from the Red Violin, and Light the Night will carry you into Alma Mahler’s world through projected illustrations, in a symphonic graphic novel. You’ll also get to hear a different side of your orchestra when we perform the music of Pink Floyd with Jeans n’ Classics, mash up expressions of struggle, mourning, and hope for the future when Mozart Meets Margit Sky, and share the stage with versatile Juno Award winner Jeremy Dutcher.

From celebrating the 100th birthday of the Kamloopsborn “Dean of Canadian Jazz” Phil Nimmons, to sharing the stage with our very own KSO Chorus, we will also collaborate with stellar artists from our region, including Rachel Casponi, Heidi Muendel, Martin Krátký, and Margit Sky Project.

We can’t wait for you to join us for this exciting season!
